    It's the only time London has reached triple digits I think? I wonder if that's equivalent to Seattle hitting 100!

    Our longest heat wave ever was like that- 1954 I think? 14 day heat wave that peaked over 100 twice, in late August and in early September- set the all time September record at 102!

    The extreme temps in 2011 show that it's indeed possible to have historic heat waves in the middle of a very wet year.
  4. LibertyBell
    Don does this correlate to another extreme heat wave for us during the summer? How does that kind of heat compare to some of our historic heat waves?

    Ticks and mosquitoes spread disease so they need to be controlled. With the warmer weather we now have three dangerous tick species in our area- one of which spreads an allergy to red meat! We now also have West Nile back in our area, I've noticed this often happens in our hottest summers, going back to 1999.

    Don, did London hit 100? The heat over in Europe is incredible- I heard that even the Netherlands was well above 100, as was Germany! Paris, of course, takes the cake- they almost hit 110!

    Got to 100 here on the south shore, might not happen again this year

    Thats a real shame. Instead of moving the equipment, maybe they should have fenced off part of the park with barbed wire and electric fencing and made it inaccessible to the public.
  9. LibertyBell
    So the real reason for moving the equipment was to stop the vandalism?
  10. LibertyBell
    Could you imagine having rain fall at 101 degrees?!
  11. LibertyBell
    Indeed- we reached 100 here and I'm a few miles east of JFK and dont get the bay influence here.
  12. LibertyBell
    what is there all time heat index record? I assume it's from 2011?
  13. LibertyBell
    Did you have it set up in 2010 and 2011? In 2010 we exceeded 100 on three days and in 2011 we reached 104!
  14. LibertyBell
    did you go a degree higher the next day? I did and reached 100
  15. LibertyBell
    We did hit 100 here on Sunday and the HI was 118, hottest day in quite a few years!
  16. LibertyBell
    frustrated we got stuck at 99 today, but tomorrow should be a little hotter with a west wind all day
  17. LibertyBell
    did you reach 100? tomorrow should be 2-3 degrees hotter
  18. LibertyBell
    I bet we reach 100 tomorrow! Was 99 on the south shore today and we'll get a nice downslope wind tomorrow
  19. LibertyBell
    99 here on the south shore too! Going for 100 today and think we'll make it with a downslope wind! BTW MJX hit 100 yesterday I think we should start measuring total heat using the heat index, since our humidity has been on the rise, total heat content needs to factor that in. A "hot" day should be a day with a HI of 90, an extremely hot day a day with a HI of 110. Tony is there any way to find out how many days we've had with a HI that high so far?

    the south shore will hit triple digits today- we came very close yesterday
  22. LibertyBell
    I think we can hit 100 today, no sea breeze until very late and a nice downslope wind all day
  23. LibertyBell
    Don both JFK and LGA hit 99! I recorded 99 here on the south shore of Nassau County also. Maybe they can both hit 100 today? I'm ignoring Central Park, they are lagging far behind all the airports
  24. LibertyBell
    they seem to have gotten worse over the years. I loved growing cucumbers and squash in the past, and (maybe it's our changing weather) it was a lot easier in the 90s than it is today

    plus Agent Orange over there in DC got $1 million from Dow and he had an insecticide approved that kills bees. Another pollinator that'll bite the dust- they're bending over backwards for Dow, they also unbanned a Dow pesticide that causes brain damage in children, which they're currently being sued over.
